I'm not sure what's going on here, but password resets with
restful_authentication aren't working in production. However, they
are working in development and staging.
The request to the passwords controller's create action is completing
successfully according to the server log:
Processing PasswordsController#create (for 68.107.52.195 at 2009-03-01

password]
However, no password reset code is set in the DB and no email is
delivered.
The only account on the production app is the administrator account
because I haven't yet opened it up for signups, and like an idiot I
forgot my password so I'm not even sure if logging in works in
production.
What gives?

Did you check if "password_reset_code" field present in the DB?

silly me.
In my passwords controller:
def create
return unless request.post?
if @user = User.find_by_email(params[:email])
@user.forgot_password
@user.save
.....
end
All I did was add "!" to @user.save, and now it works.
